Phila

（Φίλα). The daughter of Antipater, regent of Macedonia, and celebrated as one of the noblest and most virtuous women of the age in which she lived. She was married to Craterus in B.C. 322, and after the death of Craterus, who survived his marriage with her scarcely a year, she was again married to the young Demetrius, the son of Antigonus. She shared with her husband his various vicissitudes of fortune; but when he was expelled from Macedonia in B.C. 287, she put an end to her own life at Cassandrea, unable to bear this unexpected reverse. She left two children by Demetrius—Antigonus, surnamed Gonatas, who became king of Macedonia; and a daughter, Stratonicé, married first to Seleucus, and afterwards to his son Antiochus (Plut. Demetr. 14-45; Diod.xx. 93).
